Chapter 2. Technologies in XML

This chapter discusses some of the latest technologies being introduced in the XML arena. Some of these have been around for the last three years or so, and are undergoing enhancements and the others are fairly new.

The material is intended for introduction only, where detailed investigation of each of these technologies is a subject by itself. The material forms a good groundwork for concepts required in developing of many applications in WebSphere Studio Application Developer. The following technologies are discussed:

XML Processor

DTD and XML Schema

CSS, XSLT and XSL

XLink, XPointer and XBase

XML Digital Signature

XML Query Language

XSLT Compilers (XSLTC)

Java Architecture for XML Binding

Cocoon
